Don't rent it then. All these laws are designed to make being a landlord hell so that people won't be landlords.

So it's better that huge corporate landlords own all the rentable housing stock?

You seem to be assuming that if we, say, just made renting illegal, everyone would a) want to own a home, and b) have the finances necessary to do so. That's not the case.

So, you would like there to be less housing, which makes housing more scarce and raises prices on everyone else?

My house fits up to 6 adults, but only 3 are living there now because I don’t want to be a landlord.

Having 3 empty rooms helps no one except corporate landlords that can navigate and scale (and collude…).
